DRIP FLANGE FOR WOOD ROLLS.

Application mea August 14, 192s. serial No. 129,269.

This invention relates to a roll for use in textile and paper making machinery and the like in which the roll is subjected to the action of Water or other liquids. rl`he principal ob 5 ject of the invention is to provide a construction in which the Water that runs over the edge of the roll Will be directed away from the shaft or journals so that it cannot reach the shaft and thus creep out into the supporting 1o bearings. The invention also involves the provision of this feature on a roll such as shown. in my prior Patent No. 1,516,565, patented November 25, 1924;. Y

Reference is to be had to the accompanying i5 drawings in Which Fig, l is a side View of the end a roll, partly in section, with a preferred embodiment of this invention applied thereto; and

Fig. 2 is an end vieuvl of the same.

roll lO such as illustrated in my above mentioned patent, said roll being made of wood ordinarily. In that patent I showed soft metal seal cap 19 applied to the end of the 25 roll around the shaft. lt lits Within the roll and on a shoulder on the shaft at 2l for the purpose of sealing the e d of the roll and preventing the passage of Water or moisture therethrough. rlhis cap is made by casting 3o alloy over the end face of the roll so as o cover the gin geen completely and the end of the roll and lool; the parts tog Ather. rllhis is secured in position by the provision of a dove-tail 20 as described in said patent.

New for the purpose of preventing water 1which splashes over 'the end of the roll from reaching the sh aft or ournal and then creeping out into the supporti. A.; bearinrf', il cast this plate lf) originally with a cont :'ojecting portion 23. After being cast7 a groove 24 is cut all around the edge of this projection so as to provide a sharp flange 25 extending entirely around it. This flange is nearly flat and directs the Water away in a plane transverse I have. shown the invention as au ilied to a a body of molten soft metal coniiposition or f to the axis of the roll at a point near the roll but spaced therefrom. y

wWhen the roll is in operation, any Water running over the edge of the roll enters the groove 24 and strikes the flange 25.

lt is diit requires no extra piece or element.

course, it is understood that one of these flanges will be provided at each end of the roll.

Although l have illustrated and described only one form of the invention l am aware of the fact that other modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the art Without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claims. Therefore, l do not Wish to be limited 'to all the details of construction herein shown and described, but what I do claim is l.. A roll for the purposes described having a metallic drip flange spaced from its end and having a sharp circular edge conical on the side toward the roll and flat on the outer side lying in a plane transverse to the anis of the roll.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto affixed my signature.
